The Story
Carter wakes up on a bed in a strange room. He can’t remember anything, not even his own name; when he looks around he suspects something is not right. He needs to escape from there and find out what is happening. When Carter’s friends discover that he has disappeared, the true journey begins. What if all the myths and creatures they had read about were real?
Get inside their head to investigate all the clues and hints, each with their unique abilities and characteristics. Will they be ready for what they may find? Will you be?
Key Features
- Hyper-Realistic Graphics – Every level has been generated by recording real locations in 360º, and later integrating 3D elements in a very subtle way.
- Ambisonic (8D) Audio – which generates a surrounding sound effect that appears to come from every direction, creating the feeling of being in a real scenario where danger lurks in every corner…
- Full Immersion – DESOLATIUM will be available for PC / Mac but, if you want to get a total immersion, you will be able to use a Virtual Reality device.
